Incomplete sales orders can slow down operations and undermine customer satisfaction. By applying Machine Learning directly within SAP, businesses can automate routines, reduce manual follow-up, and enable faster, more accurate order processing, freeing up resources for higher-value tasks. Read the full article to learn how you can leverage Machine Learning to transform your sales operations.

Incomplete sales orders are common challenges for many businesses. Missing details like payment terms, shipping conditions or customer specific preferences often require manual follow-ups, which consumes valuable time and resources. This results in slower processes, increases risk of errors and impacts operational efficiency.  

By applying Machine Learning (ML), a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI), embedded directly in SAP, businesses can transform this challenge into a data-driven process. This reduces manual workload and creates new opportunities for automation and smarter sales operations. 

As displayed in the image, SAP’s machine learning tool enables end users to finalize Incomplete Sales Orders via Recommendations. 

 

In SAP, AI refers to the broader capability of systems to mimic human intelligence, including reasoning, learning, and decision-making. Within this landscape, SAP has introduced Joule, an AI copilot that supports users across departments by making intelligent automation more accessible (Read more about Joule here). Machine Learning, as part of this, focuses specifically on learning from data patterns to make predictions or automate tasks—such as recommending missing information in incomplete sales orders. 

At Pearl, we offer solutions where we use a machine learning model trained on your organization’s historical data, specifically completed sales orders, to identify patterns and suggest relevant recommendations for missing fields in incomplete orders. 

 

 

Conclusion

This solution is particularly relevant for businesses with high order volumes, repeated customers and standard sales processes, which is common in industries such as manufacturing, wholesale distribution, industrial goods and consumer products.  

While many companies collect large volumes of transactional data, few fully leverage it. By embedding Machine Learning in business processes, it is possible to shift from manual handling to data-driven automation that improves efficiency and strategic value.
